Angelina's Breath of Hope: A benefit concert for one little girl

A father has put together a benefit concert to save his child. Local artist Ed Arevalo organized "Angelina's Breath of Hope" for his ten year old daughter Angelina, who suffers from Cystic Fibroses and now needs a double-lung transplant.

On Saturday, November 3rd, Patricia Vonne, Myrna and the Bulldog, In The Works, Jeremy Steding, Denny Ferrin Band, and Grammy-winning group Los TexManiacs will perform to raise an estimated $80,000 for Angelina's required medical expenses.

The average wait time is three months, but Angelina faces unique challenges in obtaining matching lungs to suit her small body.

Support from the Austin community would be greatly appreciated by Angelina and her loved ones.
